I have found that if I focus on one student at a time, making sure I can stand by my assessment and grading with strong reasoning for my comments and feedback, then I have done my job and students are satisfied.
I have used my “Student Information Sheet” from my first year of teaching to the present day. These give me basic information about students, such very valuable information, which I use from day one to connect with my students.
I consider the syllabus to be so very important to a quality semester, and once I have my syllabus thought out and prepared the teaching part is very easy and enjoyable.
I teach aggressively, meaning that I focus on current events and will try different books and approaches if I think they will work to teach the material to my students.
